[BETA] Difficult to expand the rich text box content property in the IDE

The bottom right corner grab handle of the content property in the rich text box is hard to find with the mouse, as the side scroll bar is triggered when you get close to it. For me it requires a level of dexterity/precision with a mouse (or trackball in my case) that I just don’t posses.

Any chance of either shrinking the width of the box so the scroll bar doesn’t cover it, or making the grab handle area slightly bigger?

The property itself also has a scroll bar, and it’s not obvious that there is even a grab handle there. These two things led me to think there was no way to expand the property.

The same thing happens for the content property of other components, too. Been annoying me ever since I started using the Beta editor.

I have these on speed dial:

  • Click on the property textbox, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, click on a text editor, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+V
  • Edit in the text editor
  • Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, click on the property textbox, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+V

I just noticed that a drop down with empty items is easy to resize, while a drop down with something in its items has the minuscule draggable handle that is almost completely covered by the main scrollbar.

Please make sure the size of the draggable handle is large enough whether the text area has a scroll bar or not.

I don’t know if this is a browser/os-specific behavior, I am working with Chrome on Windows.


Drop down with empty items - this is easy to use:

Drop down with populated items - this is frustratingly difficult to use:
